The Toronto Blue Jays seem to be planning to make a ton of offers during free agency this winter and it looks like New York Yankees Gleyber Torres has made the list.

The Blue Jays are looking to add some hitting to their lineup for the 2025 season after a disappointing yea offensively in 2024 and it looks like Yankees free agent Gleyber Torres could be part of the solution.

According to reports, insider Jim Bowden believes that the Blue Jays have some serious interest in going after Torres and believes that the offer could float around $44 million on a four year term.

Torres had a great past few years in New York and while he has mentioned over the course of the season that he wants to stay in New York, there are rumors that the Yankees are looking for a stronger defensive output from their second baseman which is why they have yet to come to a contract agreement.
"Gleyber Torres has wanted to sign a long-term contract with the Yankees, but there have never been serious negotiations to keep him in the Bronx for years to come," Bowden said. "He is a below-average defender at second base with limited range. He hit .257 with 15 home runs and a 101 OPS+ on the season but batted over .300 when he was moved to the leadoff spot in September and has performed in October, slashing .297/.400/.432 in the playoffs...Contract prediction: four years, $44 million."

This could be a great move for the Blue Jays as they are still looking for a permanent second baseman and getting one who could produce offensively would be a massive plus heading into the 2025 season.
